1 Andrew Jackson and the Growth of American Democracy How well did President Andrew Jackson promote democracy? P R E V I E W Follow along with the lyrics as you listen to this folk song, which was written in 1821 by Samuel Woodworth. Hail gentlemen and ladies fair, That grace this famous city, Come listen, if you ve time to spare While I rehearse this ditty. And for the opportunity Consider yourself lucky, It is not often that you see A hunter from Kentucky. The Hunters of Kentucky Well, a bank was raised to hide our breast, Not that we thought of dying, But that we always like to rest Unless the game is flying. Behind it stood our little band, None wished it to be greater. Every man was half a horse, And half an alligator. Now, you all did read in the public prints How Pakenham [English general] attempted To make our Hickory Jackson wince, As soon his scheme repented. But Jackson, he was wide awake, And he wasn t scared of trifles [things of little importance]; Well he knew what aim we d take With our Kentucky rifles; Well, the British found twas vain to fight, Where lead was all the booty, And so they wisely took to flight, And left us all this beauty. So, if danger e er annoys, Remember what our trade is. Send for us Kentucky boys, And we ll protect ye ladies. Answer these questions on a separate sheet of paper. 1. What are two adjectives that describe the song s mood? 2. What story does the song tell? 3. What qualities does the song suggest would make Jackson a good president?
